A WONDERFUL ESCAPE, It ,was just after General Wayne's great victo ry of tho Talton Timbers, (said an old pioneer) . that I became acquainted with Captain Robert Benham, who had been quite a prominent actor In all the principal battles of the frontier. His nittii tad long been familiar tci- Me in connection with a very peculiar and remarkable affair which had occurred on the Ohio, at the mouth of Lick ing River, as far back as the year 1770.; bud heard his singular adventures at that place re lated differently by different parties, I felt a little curiosity to arrive tit the exact facts, and there fore took All early. occasion to get the particulars from his own lips, which I now give as near as I can recollect, in his own words: It was in the autumn of 79, began the Captain, that quite a party of us left the Falls of Ohio in keel-boats, under the command of Major Rogers La the purpose of making :in attack upon the In dians at the old town of Chilicothe. On our way up the river we met with no iemarkable adven ture till we approached the' mouth of Licking, which we did alttliit sunset of a delightful day, when we observed a few Italians standing upon a projecting sand-bar at the point where the two streams unite, apparently watching some comlmd: ions in a canoe, who were crossing to the opposite bank Of the smaller stream. If they saw ns there was nothing in their manner to indicate the fact, and thinking it possible to take them by surprise, Major Rodgers ordered the boats to JIM fit!der some bushes along the share, and all the men save five, some seventy in tilituber, to advance Cautiously through the wood and completely sur round the spot where the ravages were. We all set off in fine spirits, thinking only of the surprise we would give the enemy, and never once dreaming of the surprise they Might give us in return. Quickly, stealthily, we pushed on ward, spreading out as iia advanced, till at length we numbed and fairly incireled the fatal spot; when just as the order was being given to rush upon the foe, we were startled and thrown into the greatest confusion ly the upraising on every side of us of several hundred yelling Indians. We had been drawn into a complete ambuscade —had been taken by Our enemies in the very trap we had set for them. Instantly they poured in a destructive fire, and then fell upon us with knife and tomahawk, when• the panic on our part be en me fearful, and the slaughter tremendous. Like feghtened sheep we huddled together; and then finding ourselves hemmed in by hilt; MEE, who hewed Us down as fast as theyreached us, we turn ed at bay, and poured back a volley from ours ide. Then, with yells as wild and savage as their tfwn, we broke through their lines, and rushed 63 our boats. But the Indians., eontprehending our d& sign, reached them before us, and made a capture of all rare one, in which the men left in charge had made their escape. Our only chance now was to break their lifteS agaltt; this# start through the forest to the station of Harrisburg. Favored by the gathering shades of night,,some twenty of our whole party escaped, though hotly pursued by out blood-thirsty foes. But I was not of that fortunate few; fur, as I Was in the act of clearing some five or six of the enemy, who barred my way to a dense thicket, and just as I had cut down a couple of the near est, a ball passed through my hips shattering the bones. At once I fell, but luckily among some thick bushes' which for a moment concealed me ; and the others, probably thinking ma dead, or es caped, immediately darted oil in pursuit of my dying friends. I had my rifle still in my hands and, wounded and suffering as I was, I proceeded to load it as I 114 tM the grotind-my only hope now being that I should succeed in killing one mere of the bloody 'wretches before it terminus should be put to my existence, As minute after minute went hy, however, and the yells of the savages grew more and more dis tant, and night began to envelope me in her wel come pall of darkness, a new hope sprung tip in my breast, that I might so secrete myself as to escape the observation of the enemy altogether. Slowly dragging myself through the bushes to a fallen 'tree, which lay within a feu; feet of me, with the most exernciating pain, crept up under the branches, which I disposed about my person in the best manner I could: Here for hours I lay, suffering agonies of hotly and mind which no language has power to de scribe. I dared not stir again, scarcely to breathe. I heard the Indians return, and I could tell by the sounds that they wen going over the ground and butchering all wounded they could find. A bout midnight; as near as I could judge, they once more drew off and lit up their enny-fires, the glimmering of which I could faintly perceive through the thick foliage which surrounded me. Let me pass over that night of horror. If any one would have the faintest idea of what I suffer ed, he must imagine himself in my situation— there—in the branches of that treewith both hips shattered—surrounded by my dead friends —and, worse still, my living foes. I dared not change my position nor give vent to a single groan ; and at times it seemed that nature must conp y utmost will.elfrommes°me , oxpression of pain, in spite of m i tph, it was a horrible night ! and may God deliver me from ever passing such another. But the end is not yet. Horrible as that night was, I dreaded to ace the morrow. How could I expect to escape the lynx oyes of so many say , . ages, when they should begin to beat over the ground for plunder? And at times the thought of this worhed upon my feelings that I was more tban.once tempted to shriek out and let my posi tion be known and thus bring upon myself the relief of a speedy death; for' I knew, from my disabled ededition, that the Indians would not think of taking me prisoner, but butcher me at And yet the instititis of life iliere greater than the temptations I speak of. And these same instincts, by the way, seem wisely set for our preservation to act when reason tells us that all hope is lost and we bed betths ntid out woes at once: How painfully I watched the dawning of the day! How eagerly and tremb tingly I listened to every sound ! At length I could hear the frith:His astir; and soon after they began to traverse the scene of slaughter and gather up the arms of my elirtiPan ions, idyl strip their bodies of every gar:. went. They were hours at their work ; and to the those hears were ages. At times when sonic of them - drew' near . the spot where I lay, I felt my heart in my very throat, and it seemed as if I should die of suffocation. Twice a small party came so close that I could see their half-naked, hideously painted forms through the leaves, and once a single warrior stalked by ino within reaeli of my rifle.. Up and down and over the ground they passed and repassed many times, till they were evidently satisfied that none of the dead or Wounded had escaped dfdii: notice. They then drew off in a body along the bank of the river, where they remained for hours—in fact, till late in the day—when, being joined by the rest of their cempanions who had probably made a long journey in pursuit of the fugitives, they repaired to the boats. With a feeling of thankfulness which I cannot fiiiiiiess;l heard them put off from the shore, and '6ierY sound gradually , (lie away to silence. And yet, shortly after there came an awful revulsion of feeling; foil now felt that I was alone—alone in the wilderness—afar from friends—so crippled that I could not walk--could only move Hl' body in fact, by a great effort—suffering alt the time the most ezerutiating agonies, and in danger of perishing from starvation. Had Limon able to move about, even though never so slowly and fee lily, I could have rejoiced in my good fortune; but situated as I was, I felt that an overruling Providence, such as had so far preserved me, Coitid still save me from even a more horrible dooM than I had escaped. As I thus lay on my back, in a psition which bud scarcely been changed for more than twenty hours, I looked up through the leaves, and to my surprise, I might almost say joy, beheld a racoon in the act of detcfinding the branches of a large tree, some of whose branches even canopied tbe spot where I lay. Was this poor animal a mes senger of hope ? Had Providence directed it here for my preservation ? I fancied so then—l al most fancy so still: At all events 1 cautiously raised my only remairltii filend, my rifle, took a but certain aim, and fired. The ball sped to its mark, and the animal dropped withina few feet of me; and as I raised myself along the limbs, with the intention of dragging myself to it, I was startled by hearing a human cry. Fearing the Indians had not all gone, I hastily reloaded my rifle, and then remained perfectly still, fairly trembling at the thought of what might next behold, but determined to sell nllife deafly, and shoot the first human figure I nee up- Pimiching me. Presently I heard the same loud, startling cry repeated, but this time much nearer than before. Still I kept silent, my rifle firmly grasped, for I could recognize nothing like the voice of one of my race. Again I heard the setae singular sound, but still nearer yet, and a rustling among the underbrush, apparently at a distance Of twenty yarfii. I cocked my rifle cod poised it, resolved to shoot the first obj ect that should appear. But fortunately nothing did appear till my heart' had been made to leap for joy by the utterance of words in my native tongue, which fell clearly and distinctly on nip ear, and assured me it was a countryman, and perhaps a compan ion. " Who are you ? Where are you ? For God's sake speak i" cried the voice. - I now gave- an answering shout; and 'Soon I was, gratified by the sight of a human figure push ing through the bushes, whom, notwithstanding lass heggird and blood stained features, I at once recognized as Peter Brent. On getting sight df me, he stopped and exclaimed: " My God CCaptaiii Ecnham—is this you ? How did you escape?'l - thought I was the only being left alive by the butchering wretches:" "Alas!'" I returned; "I'm as geed tis &lid; flit nil Udii Wo3nded in criY Eitp3 and cannot walk step." • "See," he rejoined, "I'm no better off ; both my arms ate broken, end I've no power to use a and eatthtiti teed myself if I had any thing to cat. I think of the two, Captain, you're the beet off after all, for you at least can shoot game, and so we won't starve ?" "Aye," said I ; "hot how em I to get at it when I have shot it ?" see," he replied, with a sort of a laugh, 'the two of us only make ono decent man. Thev e got legs, and if we ever got out of this infernal scrape at all I reckon we will have to work to gether. And if heaven is willing, and the red devils will let us alone, we will be able to do it and cheat the how:ing imps out of two scalps any how." - It was a vet y sing,ulur and remarkable occur rence, that only two men should have escaped from that scene of slaughter; and of these, the one with his hips broken and the Oilier with his ariiit. Brent, like thyself, bad had nothing to eat for tWetity . -four hours. And, like myself, too, be had escaped after being shot, by crewing into a tile}:: et, and lying flat upon the earth at a point where the Indians bad passed and repassed within a few feet of him- Hero he had remained through the night, and the day, till the savages had departed, when the pangs of hunger had brought him out in search of food, which ho had little hope of find ing, and knew not by what means he might get it into his mouth if he obtained it. On hearing the report of my rifle, a faint hope had sprung up in his breast that a companion might be near; but whether it should prove to be a friend or an enemy he determined tomake him= self known, and risk captivity, or °veil death, rather than remain in his helpless condition. We now began our singular mode of living, which probably has never been paralleled in the world's history. The first thing Brent did was to search for the raccoon I had shot, and ptished it along to me with his feet, I then dressed it, and kindling a fire with my sticks, which he bad also pushed up to me in the same manner, I broiled it, and on this we made our supper—de hearty and palatable a meal as I ever eat in my life—l feeding him as ho sat beside me. Our hunger eppensod, we felt more sensibly the pangs of thirst and at first could do vise no means of obtaining the water so near us.—Necessity, however, is the mother of invention; and luckily bethinking me of my hat I placed the rim in my companion's mouth, and told him to wade into the river until lie should be able to dip the hat under water, and then, by returning quickly, I fancied a good por tion of the water might be retained, after allow ing for the leakage. The plan suceeded; and ta king the half filled 44.ourttt his teeth, I h o ld it WHOLE NO. 483. for him to drink, and then drank myself—tki most rateshing and invigorating draught that ever pasied shy lips. The imniediate wants of naturo being now fat ; ly suppliiii, we began . to be more ebeiirtil and hopeful, though still suffering extinthe pain from our shatteied limbs, which I neat piiiceeded to drelie as well as our circumstances iidifd permit. Making some rualii splints with my knife, I took iiErny shirt and tore ii into airips, and then Pitt ting the bones of iirent's iifin together as well as I could, I bound - the splints around them. This tiFoceded to dress my own *Minds in the same ilietimplete way. Andilier night now net in, which we passed to gether, lying close in the thicket, and suffering a great dell of pain. We slept little, but spent the tedious hours in talking over the dire events labia. had happened, and mourning over the loss ()four bravii companions. The second day, beginning early in the morning and keeping asbarp look out for game, I was fortunate enough to sleet two squirrels and:a wild turkey, the latter beilng gsito iiinnerous in that region. This served us for food during the day, and un the third k succeeded in•shooting n coup lb more squirrels and a few birds, my companion always kicking the game td the with his feet, and pushing sticks and britali iii the Mile manner, and I arcs: nt and cooking tho animals and reed ing him. So matters went on for several days; the game gradually becoming scarcer and requiring a great deal more labor on ]bent's part to drive them within the roach pf my rifle. Days thus passed on, and even weeks, before my wounds were so far healed as to permit me' to bobble about on crutches,. and &Ling all this time we 'aw not a human soul, ,though anxiously watching for some Chance boat to pass down the river and take us off Our garments being thin and our shirts torn up for bandages, and the - weather setting in cold our future prospectl looked cheerless indeed, and we were touch eiincerned lest we slioiild be obliged to win thi: where we were: folic prepared for oily emergency, we with much labor put up a kitid of a rude, shanty, which served in seine measure to protect us from the almost wintry blasts which now began to sweep °Oil: the desolate scene, As the season gteiv colder and more inclement the game became so scarce that my companion with difficulty drove enough within ritleshot to give us a single meal a ditY, and, with all the rest, our powder was so low lk the born that I could count the charges, and dared net tire except when cer tain of my mark; then it was we:began to feel tlib horrors of despair, and smoothness to regret that we had outlived the dead around us. Almost naked, with unshaven, haggard faces, .holletved cheeks and sunken eyes, we now, indeed, looked pitiable to each other, every day, too, our posi tion seemed to grow worse instead of better, and at last, with a sinking heatt, I informed Brent we had but fleet charges of powder in our horn. "God help us!" was his reply. Matters were thus at their very worst, when one day Peter burst suddenly into our shanty, Where I sat shivering over a few embers, and with tears in his eyes, exclaimed': "Blessed be God! Captain Benham, we'fe sav ed; there's flat boat jute turning the bend above us !"

When the rowers came near enough to converse with us they stop ped, and told thi tHh'i feared we Wei:e decoys, put tei:e‘ to tirair them to the share that the Indians might fall upon and murder theiii, and it took no little time and the most earnest nsserverations and tiiiiteiits to cothiliCh them to the contrary.

We were very kindly treated by these men when they came to hear our story, and being taken by them to the garrison at the Falls, (now Louisville, Ky.,) we were placed under the care of a skillful surgeon, and soon restored to our usual health and strength. Such was the remarkable story of Baptism Ben ham—remarkable for the fact that two men should so singularly escape from the savages and live six weeks in the wilderness, the ono with useless arms and the other with useless legs, the MO to gether making, na it were, only One whole man Whoever shall to-day stand upon the levee of the now large and flourishing city of Cincinnati had glance his eyes actress the beautiful Ohio, shall behold the very spot where these remarkable events oerliffoil, at a time when all around, on eltber shore, was a wild and howling wilderness. RAT TALES Quite lately in Paris, a .speehnen was given of the force in which rats can muster, where they have gained only a provisional footing. The His torical Hallos., or market, baring been rebuilt and re-arranged on a more commodious phtb, the Nth of October last was fixed for the moving of the dealers in flour-stuffs, green vegetables, poultry and potatoes, from the ground they have occupi ed near the chitreb of St. Enstache, to their new stalls and shops in the Holies Contralos. After the departure, of the human tenants of the old provisionsl market, the workmen proceederl to pull down the sheds. Beneath these sheds d Col ony of rats had filed their domicile for smite time . past: A regiment of boys, armed with sticks, and backed by all the dogs of the quarter, mustered in a peek, awaiting the unearthing of thrs game from their cover. A crowd of spectators made tho lofty buildings round re-echo with their shouts and their bursts of laughter. Several rats alarm ed at the disturbance and the barking of the dogs, climbed up the persons of the lookers on, to find a refuge on their shoulders or their heads One girl feeling a rat taking a walk around her neck, was so overcome with terror that she fainted. One thousand h the estimated number of rats who fell victims to this inhospitable recap t ion ; but it may ho presumed that those who sa ved their bacon were in considerable majority.
